In some cases (e.g., the cited URL, to download the latest Mozilla build),
Mozilla refuses to download a file from the Web; it pops up a dialog saying that
it's unable to read a file in the Windows temporary directory (presumably where
Mozilla temporarily puts the download data). A zero-length file of that name is
saved on my system. I'm using build 2002101404 for Win98.

No, there'd been lots of earlier Mozilla versions installed there before.
I installed the 1.2b version (2002091014) just now and it seems to work. It's
just the new nightly builds that have the problem.
